Arab Gulf states are reporting new missile and drone attacks after Tehran threatened to widen its campaign and called for the evacuation of three major ports in the United Arab Emirates. As the war entered its third week, Iran said the United States had attacked Kharg Island, crucial to Iran's oil sector, from the UAE, which denied the accusation. President Donald Trump has said the U.S. destroyed military sites on Kharg Island and warned that its oil infrastructure could be next. Trump has said he hopes other countries send warships to keep the Strait of Hormuz “open and safe."
